Quick "Hi" From Abroad

I only have 7 minutes left on my hour of internet time so this will be quick.

I am currently in Valencia, Spain. We (Justina and I) have just begun our tour of Spain. We came from France and Switzerland which were lovely. We don´t have any Spanish langage skills really so we´re just fumbling along but so far, so good, now that we have all of our trains booked.

I like being here but I do wish I was a little more adventurous. I am trying to be but I could be more, as always.

But, that said, things are really great. I certainly don´t miss the snow storm I left behind as I sit here in the Mediteranean air.

Endings


When I was nearing the end of my degree at CBC I was pretty sad. I really loved that place and those people. I suppose I wasn't so sad to be done school, but to leave the friends.

When I completed my last class of my sociology degree, it really just felt like a formality. I had already completed a year of law and that class was more of an annoyance taking up my spring time evenings.

I just wrote my last law school exam. I'm done. And I'm not sad. I feel so relieved. I have been working non-stop for the last 3 weeks and now, I am blogging instead of reading. It's so much better.

I'm happy to be done, but it's not like I am fleeing from the school hoping to never see it again. I had some good times and met some great people who I hope to continue seeing around. I'm happy to be moving on after so long in school.

I'm done. I'm done. I'm done.

And now for a little vacation, and then the real work starts. yikes.

[At moments during my test I caught myself smiling thinking about Jim and Pam on The Office last night. I really am a super fan. Thankfully I have friends who record it so I can catch up when I get back. And LOST is starting again too!]

Addict


I REALLY love the office. It's been gone since November when the WGA strike started. It's back on Thursday. IT'S BACK ON THURSDAY!!

Yesterday, my TV started acting up (during the OC...maybe the drama killed it?). It chirps and cuts out and freezes. The Telus guy said it should be fixed by Monday when a new software update is installed. Nooooooo. Monday is too late!

(And I am up to my eyeballs in homework so going to someone else's house could be really detrimental to me.)

Oh please God, heal my TV. Please.

Or maybe this is God's message to me that I'm an addict...

UPDATE: It's miraculously working again. Miraculously. With a day to spare, no less.
